SILAPATHAR, March 14 - The Dhemaji district administration lifted day curfew here from today even as it decided to continue with the night curfew.

The district administration officials also held a discussion with the members of the AASU and other organisations agitating against the March 6 incident. They have been demanding immediate arrest of the main accused Subodh Biswas, president of NIBBUS, and others involved in the act of vandalism.
Meanwhile, police this morning apprehended three persons � Potit Paban Rajbonghshi, Bharat Rajbonghshi and Probin Debnath from Majorbari near here, who reportedly helped Subodh Biswas to cross the Brahmaputra river on March 12.
Dhemaji Deputy Commissioner Rosani A Korati said all the agitating organisations in today�s joint meeting agreed on bringing normalcy in Silapathar. Some local Bengali organisations and businessmen were also present in the meeting. She further said that steps are being taken to maintain a cordial relationship among all the communities in the town.
